Additional Comments

This house was probably built as a speculative venture for Hemsing because after 3/14/1907, the property was owned by Fred Tibbit. Tibbit's obituary states that he died at 615 N. Johnson St. This is probably the current house but was just historically renumbered. Tibbit was born in Methfoldt, Norfolk County, England on 12/27/1848. He came to the United States with his mother in the spring of 1854 and settled in Michigan. That fall, they moved to a farm in the Town of Dunn. On 1/26/1865, he enlisted in the Union army in Madison and was assigned to Company E of the 47th Wisconsin Infantry regiment. At the time, he had blue eyes, light colored hair and was 5'9 1/2" tall. He was discharged from the army on 9/4/1865 in Nashville, TN. When he died, he was one of three remaining Civil War veterans in Stoughton. His funeral was held in his house, which was customary, and he's buried in Riverside Cemetery.
